Why does my dog panic when my phone vibrates on a wooden table?

Our answer

Table vibration may create a startling low-frequency noise; switch phone to silent with no vibration and reinforce calm before reintroducing it.

Why this approach makes sense

Animal behaviour depends on the individual pet and the situation; choose a gradual, comfortable approach.

Before you try it

Avoid forcing behaviour or using equipment that is the wrong size for the animal.
